The Banski Show – Episode 1
HRDRV, Songwriting, & Entrepreneurialism
Guest: Mickey Shiloh
In his inaugural podcast debut, Banski hosts Mickey Shiloh, the triple-threat multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter, author and entrepreneur who has worked with Brittany Spears, Pitbull and Janet Jackson (among many others) and established an amazing label that offers services and a community like none other in the music industry.
Banski and Mickey have a far-ranging conversation that covers topics both practical and personal, serious as well as light-hearted. The Forbes Magazine “30 Under 30” influencer (Mickey is 28) shares her experiences as not only a multi-platinum selling artist but also as the businesswoman whose company, HRDRV, (pronounced Hard Drive) is reinventing music production. Far more than just a place to create content, HRDRV offers a full complement of services and support for distribution, administration, facilitation among streaming platforms, art and digital production, co-writing sessions, mentorship programs and consultations.
Mickey’s many entrepreneurial projects (which also include the publication of popular eBooks, webinars, live events and constant fresh music and video releases) would not be possible without lessons learned along the way, including the unexpected gifts she has taken from a bipolar diagnosis and even the challenges of Covid-19. This is a young woman who defines self-awareness and start-up ingenuity, humor and resiliency. Tune in for some great insights, listener questions and highlights to look out for as Mickey rolls into 2021 and beyond!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
